Philip Kennicott has been working overtime alongside a cadre of citizens, like the webcam group on the Kennedy Center. Now he wants to paint the Eisenhower Bldg. Holy moly! More chaos & conservation. While photo banners adorning gov’t buildings is revolting at least they’re not permanent. One wapo commenter noted that the placement did avoid perpetuating a stench that may occur if placement were lower. There’s lots to protect. Now Europe is burning. Judith Gura & Larry Lederman worked on a publication documenting NY Landmarks. Kennicott, & those who love architecture, antiques & history, are burning daylight as Historic Preservationists have their hands full with this bunch. It’s also time to revisit Montgomery’s American Furniture, the Federal Period. We must nudge Brock Jobe. Published in 1966 …, this is the perfect time to photograph the beauty that moves Mona Charen. I haven’t seen her city but I believe it must be as Reagan said…”the American vision…a country that would be a light unto the nations, and a shining city upon a hill.”
A platform plank for the Democratic slate for '28 should be to tear down, tear out, and restore everything Trump has done and everything he might do. Every record, every bit of evidence, every memory that Trump ever existed that can be should be destroyed. Some class, dignity, and integrity should be restored to the US Capital, US lands and natural resources rehabilitated.
Trump is worse than an incurable metastatic disease.
Depressing, enraging, and insightful. If we are somehow able trot save our democracy, I can’t help but wonder how so much of this garishness will be repurposed and/or removed.
This sentence: “The neoclassical style in which the White House is designed—an architectural style that intentionally avoids the ornamentation found in the palaces of Europe. Gold.” Exactly! That chosen lack of ornamentation is what makes us unique from the monarchies in Europe. Thanks for that sentence, Tommy!
Strongly recommend that all read this and figure out a way to minimize hitting the cliff - https://michaelpopok.substack.com/p/iran-war-expert-exposes-trump-escalation? - All veterans should stop any possible ground invasion because it will massively increase the number of Gold Star families. See what has happened to Russians invading Ukraine; worse will happen to American forces landing on Iranian beaches or soil. We have no effective defense against swarms of drones.
A couple of cans of gold Rust-Oleum…
That's all it took …
Tacky
